these are unsolicited comments from a member of our founders club, dave dorman about our 2005 Old Vine Zinfandel

BTW, I mistakenly drank one of my only two 2005 m2 OVZ’s, while I have 8-9 of the 04’s left (I think I bought 2-3 cases of the 04). Hint, hint…if ya got anymore of the 05’s. The 05 was actually the wine that kicked the Turley’s ass a few weeks ago…

Dave

and

Yes, the 05 kicked a 2002 Turley Dry Creek/Grist Zin (rated 88-89 pts by both WS and Parker), a unanimous smackdown as judged by 6-10 people at a dinner back in October. I didn’t know I had mistakenly grabbed the 05 until a couple of weeks later.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s been weeks since I’ve made a meaningful post to the ol’ m2 blog.

 A lot has been happening and well worth talking about, yet I still have no time right now. So… coming soon…

1. Harvest recap

2. Public events, past and future update

3. General angst

4. Barrel discussion regarding the new stuff purchased for ‘07 and wines in said barrels

5. Upcoming bottling slated for March 1 including good and bad issues involving labels, bottles, the TTB, a scintilatting discussion about corks AND a couple new wines coming from m2 …

Stay tuned….
